Description
Summary:A series of transition metal coordination complexes designed to assemble on gold surfaces was synthesized, their electronic structure and transitions analyzed, and their magnetic properties studied. By taking advantage of recently developed thiocyanate assembly protocols, these molecules were then assembled onto a gold surface, without the need for an inert atmosphere, to give a loosely packed monolayer. The assembled molecules exhibit properties similar to that of the bulk molecules, indicating little change in molecular structure outside of chemisorption.
